Mark Duggan's aunt, Carole Duggan, has said the family will "fight for justice in a peaceful way" following the inquest's verdict that Mark Duggan was lawfully killed by a police marksman despite being unarmed.

"We are being bigger than ourselves by saying, we will talk to the police, we have got Mark's children here, they want to ask questions," Ms Duggan said.

Mark Duggan was gunned down when police stopped the taxi in which he was travelling in Tottenham, north London, in August 2011.

At the culmination of the four-month inquest, the jury found that although the 29-year-old had a gun in the minicab, he most likely threw it on to a nearby grass verge as soon as the car came to a stop.
